Pros -light weight
-no fragrance
Cons -irritated my pimples
-formed new pimples
-does not moisturize
Bottom line If you have extremely sensitive acne-prone skin, do not use this. It contains an ingredient "Myristyl Myristate" which is a comedogenic ingredient (as Dan has also mentioned on this website). The cream irritated my pimples and made them itchy. This might work great for others, but if you have extremely sensitive skin (like me) beware.

Pros No scent
Didn't irritate
Cons Doesn't moisturize
Extremely runny, not a cream at all
Makes my face feel tight
After 5 minutes felt like I never put it on in the first place
Bottom line I really wanted this to work. It has great reviews. This product is very runny, runnier than regular lotion, and applying it to my face it felt like a gel which was gross. It absorbs fast but left my face feeling tight and dry and didn't help at all with my dry patches or anything. Every time I would use this it would leave my face feeling tight and dirty and I'd want to wash it off.

Pros - Doesn't break me out
- Light/Comfortable (depending on whether I mix jojoba oil with it)
- Fragrance-free
- Cost-effective
Cons - Not very good for day time use (makes me look oily)
- I have to order online
Bottom line You have to put a bit of effort into this product because using BP has made this moisturizer (and all others that I own so far) a bit ineffective for getting rid of dry patches.

However, to make it exceptional/heavy duty, I simply add jojoba oil (as directed on the site) and use disposable sponges to make sure the application is smooth across my face. :)

I gave it four smilies(?) because I would not recommend this for daytime use. It gets me quite oily/shiny in a matter of a couple of hours.

Pros Decent moisturizer
Leaves matte finish
Non comedogenic
No smell
Cons No SPF
Bottom line Best moisturizer I've found while on the regimen! Leaves a matte finish, so if you have oily skin this may be better then other moisturizers. If you have super dry skin, this might not be moisturizing enough but otherwise, it's awesome. Wish there was SPF though!

Pros - Nice consistency
- Unfragranced
- Good moisturization
- Non-comodegenic
Cons - Leaves a residue on skin
- Makes my skin feel oily
- Makes my skin shiny
Bottom line This stuff is okay. It provides good moisturization and helps keep my skin soft. It works well at getting rid of flakes and makes my skin nice and soft.

However, it is a bit greasy. I can feel it on my face and it never fully soaks in. At the end of the day I can see a visible shine on my face.

Pros Light, non greasy. Excellent for summer use here in the humid South.
Cons Too light for use in the winter in cold climates.
Bottom line It's the only one that doesn't look greasy on my oily skin. Works great w/the Regimen. Olay Sensitive gave me milia. Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture didn't clog my pores, but made my face greasy. Complex 15 is a winner!

Pros moisturizes excellently without making my face oily, cheap, a little goes a long way, doesn't make me break out, no annoying smell, helps with the slight dryness that the regiman causes me.
Cons none, really!!
Bottom line i would deffinatly reccomend this product to people who either have normal or oily skin, cause this is wonderful!! it takes care of the few flakes i get from BP, and makes my skin so smooth and hydrated!! i love it!! i can also get it at my local drugstore which is like five minutes away from my house! but this is part of my PERFECT regiman that i have come up with:

-CeraVe hydrating cleanser
(best cleanser i have EVER used in my life!)

-Dan's BP
(of course, cause its the best, duh!! :-D)

-complex 15 moisturizing face cream
(can't live without it!)

-Dan's AHA
(for the occasional unde-the-skin zit!)


trust me people, i have searched for YEARS and YEARS for the right regiman and i finally found perfection!!!! i love all these products and reccomend them to realativily anyone!! even my MOM uses the CeraVe cleanser and loves it!! so give them a try if you haven't already!!

Pros Soothes skin, doesn't cause breakouts, reduces dryness caused by regimen, contains no parabens, lanolin or mineral oil.
Cons Not available everywhere, small bottle doesn't last very long.
Bottom line I love this stuff! It completely calms my skin when it burns after the regimen. It's also very light under make-up. My boyfriend said it also helped with his razor burn.
